To love or to be loved
That is the question
The difference I couldn't once tell
But after heartbreak and denial
After sadness and tragedy
The difference had never been more clear
You had stuck with me
Through thick and thin
Even when I thought I was undeserving
You stayed here with me
Mysterious as the moon
Yet all the more beautiful
You were strong and independent
You really put me to shame
And realise how weak I was
After one fight
I'm already cracking
But you're still going strong
I'm glad that you haven't
Abandoned me
Like so many have before
We were both a bit shaken
Both a bit bruised
But I still loved so so much
I thought it was my duty
To protect the beauty
That I didn't want to lose
But I was losing the battle
And you ended up being the one
To stand in front of me
And maybe you're the only one
And you have to be the one
To save me from this darkness
Because even though I'm consumed
My heart calls out to you
The only light I can see
We stuck with each other
Through thick and thin
And I wouldn't want it any other way
I didn't let you fall
And I hope you don't
Forget to grab my hand and pull me up

To love or to be loved...
Ideally, you have both. However, that isn't always the case and it can take a while before we are able to find both.
Do you think a broken soul can give or receive love? Do you share a love with anyone that seems so much stronger than you? Do you think that, with the right person and right kind of love, love can be healing or is it a nuisance that could never end well?
Is there anyone you want to save or do you feel like you're the one in need of saving?
Until next time,
Ade Alethra
